I did. I compared to my Ipad and Atrix 4g, which both have excellent displays and the Prime clearly has the better looking colors and display. I didn't even really need to compare because I remember vividly how the icons n such looked before the update in low power mode. Seriously, they don't even look like that. I have excellent vision 20/15 , which is better than 20/20..lol. if this was stuck with washed out colors like in low power mode before update, I would notice. And I'd admit it also if true. but that's not the case as me n others pointed out. maybe the difference you seeing is your other displays brightness being set higher than on Prime. cut up the brightness n you should clearly see. The display was one of the most praised things about the Prime. Engadget and Anadtech said it has the best display of any tablet out now. its the brightest and has the highest contrast ratio of anything out there.

Don't know what else to tell ya..lol. Prime Display Rocks before n after update to .33. :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Do me a favor, compare the screen to your android phone or any other android device you may have. Compare the marketplace icon.

Do you still think it looks better on the prime? For me it clearly doesn't.

It doesn't really bother me having washed out icons, everything else like wallpaper and games seem to be looking good.

its not a big deal, just wish others would notice it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
You "wish others would notice it"? Maybe we don't notice it because it's not there. Colors are VERY subjective, and even prone to psychological influence, like, if you're convinced there's a difference, you'll see it.

Bottom line: as I think a few people have already told you, we think colors on the Prime are excellent, compared both to the Prime before the update and to other devices. I've compared my Prime's screen to my original Transformer and my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I prefer the Prime. Period. No need to try to convince me I'm wrong or somehow missing something.

Please do note that what you're calling "better" colors on a phone or other device might be over-saturated and unnatural to other people. For example, I find the colors on my Samsung Epic 4G Touch Super AMOLED screen to be "brighter" than on my Prime, sure, but I consider that a bad thing: they're TOO bright and over-saturated and hence unnatural.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
You are right, sorry everyone...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
This isn't the case for me. When hold my prime up to my phone (thunderbolt) the colors are clearly much better on my phone than the prime now. It was not the case before the update. All my colors are washed out now in comparison. Reds show up as orange, etc.

This is not just for icons but anything which is displayed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Can you post some images to compare? I would but cannot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thomascook:
bottom line - compared to my galaxy note, the prime screen looks brighter, but less colorful. I prefer the prime screen, because the note is slightly more warm/red and looks rather strange somehow. Its okay for a phone/mobile device, but theres the difference between amoled and ips....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I can try when I get home tonight. I think I might wait until the ICS update to see if this fixes the issue first
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
This last .33 update really mucked mine up. I find when typing the letter "o" doesnt register. So with this new update i have found screen calibration issues, typing lag when on the web, just like the first TF. A over all slow down on the system. Im thinking of doing a factory reset.... hate doing that because of getting all my programs back. I hope a lot of this is cleared up with ICS on Thursday....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm surprised to hear that the Note is warmer. Samsung screens tend to be very cold, so much so as to have a pronounced blue tint (e.g., my Epic 4G Touch, which is so damn cold that find myself sometimes wanting to go back to my Motorola Photon).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Since the .33 update and still in ICS my colors aren't what they were when I first got the tablet. My reds appear orange and colors are more washed out. Does anyone think a factory reset would fix this. (I would rather not do this)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pacglouton:
Totally agree with you. Mine TP has the same symptom: the colors are over-saturated and washed out.

The green color becomes lime green (as you mentioned for the Market icon): I can clearly see the differences with pictures that I have taken in the past and how they look on the TP.

If you the test here: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ you will definitely see problems with gamma, contrast and white/black saturation.

So this seems to be an isolated problem to some units, since we only see a few threads reporting this problem (another one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444492)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Yeah, so is there anything we can do about it?

I did a factory reset but it's still the same
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimbob1971:
Glad I found this thread. I thought I was going mad I can't see any difference colour wise, and all modes are the same in this respect whereas the prime's Eco mode really changed the contrast prior to me updating. I think my display is ok as there was quite a big difference before and I think I'd notice.

The real annoyance is the changing brightness. Watching films in the dark is really annoying now. The changes are incredibly obvious and get on my nerves. I thought it was my Prime only until I saw this thread.

If you want to watch films in bed I'd advise using something like screen filter. It dims the screen by adding an overlay but it actually stops the brightness changes if it is set to about 50%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pokevitek:
Hi, same here. It just some power-saving dynamic contrast like feature that make our displays look worse and flickering. Question is, is everyone affected? I mean, could some be oversensitive for example, badly set maybe, and some OK? Or do others just not see it but it is there same as we have it? Anyway, seems like it could be SW driven, so at least we can hope for some fix...

Well, you can. I have unknown SN bug, so I will wait till next week to hear from Asus or RMA it... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I would really like to know if there is a fix for washed out colors. Reds look like orange, orange is yellow. This wasn't the case when I first got the tablet but now after the .33 update, and still after ICS and a factory reset, the colors are bad (in every mode). Are there settings for this? It's too late to return now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
i don't know if i'm having the same issue as you guys, but i also feel that my colors look crappy.. here's a pic comparing my sgs2 and prime. both are at 100% brightness.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3354073/P1010808.JPG

imo, the sgs2's colors look a lot better. also tried every power mode on the prime to no avail.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wpghtc:
"What Prism Display Technology does is to analyze the amount of backlight needed conventionally on a frame by frame basis and preserves the required color fidelity while dimming the backlight to conserve battery life. This allows the tablet to consume less power and yet preserve a vibrant display"

We are indeed seeing a difference in contrast.

The colour itself is not the issue.

It appears that the update changed the threshold values of the contrast.

On power save, at a low brightness I can hardly see any detail on my market icon or my email icon. Very washed out.

It is almost the exact same issue i have with my Galaxy S2 I9100, after the 2.3.4 update my contrast is the exact opposite, too dark at lower brightness setting.

I am sure this is just something that will be fixed in an update. I noticed that leaving the tablet on balanced with the brightness at 25% is much better.

Given the extended battery life using auto,however, i can live with it for now.

It is too bad that everyone is screaming fire over some minor issues.

I have had the acer a500, the transformer, the galaxy tab 10.1, the sony s, the xoom and NONE of them are as nice as the Prime, even with these issues.

I am also one of the unlucky ones with a tiny bright spot. I only see it on white backgrounds mainly, but I am still in love with this tablet.

I have seen issues with EVERY tablet i have owned. At the end of the day, the Prime is still worth every penny.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Yes! this is my issue. Should I return it for a new one?

So you think instead of returning it for a new one I should wait for update even though some people don't have this issue? I have a few days to exchange to gamestop.

I also have 2 white spots. I'm used it them though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
i'm backing up my apps and will try a factory reset and update again to ICS.. let's see if this fixes anything. i doubt it's going to change anything, but right now i'm extremely disappointed by those washed-out colors.

edit: damn, just noticed the ICS update files aren't even available. the factory reset didn't do anything at all, colors are still worse than on any other display i compare it to :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
When I did my factory reset, I was still on ICS after the update completed. I only had good colors before the .33 update. Is there a way to go back to that firmware?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
yay.. the factory reset actually did change something... i now have a vertical white line going through the whole screen. it's noticeable on black backgrounds and i can see it on the notification bar as well. i'm 100% sure it wasn't there before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wpghtc:
Try this:

Put the auto brightness on.

Set the tab to power save.

Turn off screen with power button.

Wait 2 seconds , turn back on.

Set to Max performance.

Leave auto bright on.

Turn off screen.

Wait 2 seconds.

Turn back on. You should now have proper colour.

This only jumps it out of the more washed out colour.

The contrast is still off.

Edit:

I can confirm that you can switch back to power save or balanced and retain colour until screen turns off.

At least web browsing anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
nope, didn't do anything.

how the hell can a factory reset f*ck up a whole line of pixels? i'm done with this thing.. sending it back tomorrow. got a rattle in the case, it's possible that the speaker wasn't properly glued to the board. colors are horrible. sub-par wifi performance. and now a whole line of dead pixels. what a mess..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Yeah. Didn't work for me either. Still have washed out colors that I never originally had with this tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newfie99:
My Prime is doing the same thing. Brightness is changing all the time even when not on eco-mode. I have the latest ICS update.

Really starting to bug me, tempted to return this tablet. It is adjusting the brightness all the time...annoying.

Also noticed some flickering at the bottom menu bar during a lecture at school today. The green buttons would turn to "tv snow" - horrizontal distortion and then return to normal. Very wierd.

Last issue that has been bugging me is the touch vibration seems VERY weak. I can actually hear the vibrator more than I can feel it. It is a very subtle "click".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfrzy:
My prime does nothing with brightness or colour contrast when I switch between the different modes. I didn't know that wasn't normal until I saw this thread. I'm discovering more and more glitches as I continue to use it, good thing I've only had it 2 out of my 14 days from Best Buy. Hopefully Asus comes out with an update within the next few days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
I agree green looks faded and lime compared to my epic 4g touch......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fellara:
This is definitely a software problem that was caused by one of the Asus updates.

I've gone through two TF201's and both had the same problem. I noticed it on the second unit first after updating to ICS. I then took my first one out of the return box (was getting ready to drop it off at UPS) and tested it as well and found both to have the same issue.

I am able to reproduce the poor color quality pretty easily on my tablets. Playing video (youtube, netflix) at full screen seems to trigger the tablet to make adjustments to the screen contrast / color. From the video, I would return to my home screen and would notice the detail and text on all my app icons appeared to be washed out and hard to read. Going into google talk right after watching a video, the text was extremely thin and looked horrible.

Moving the screen up and down with my finger, I would notice the screen brightness flicker, and the image and colors would get better and start to correct, but not like they were when I originally bought the tablet.

I sent all that information to Asus Support, but who knows if they will follow through with it. I hope they can fix this soon, I find it to be very annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MentorPalokaj:
Same here, but not always...

I often use my tablet at minimum brightness (and even then use screen filter apps), maybe thats part of it?

"Washed out" is the best way to describe what happens. This effect is not psychological as one of the posters suggested. I've seen my prime switch from wahsed out to full color (and vice versa) and have found no way to put it on good quality on command.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmikaz:
I noticed after the update that it seems to not focus as well in different lighting.....but that's just me
[General Questions and Answers] Kochisgood4you:
Hey guys I would ask the Dev but the forums rules won't let me even PM them by the looks of it. I've searched for the answer in the HTC Sensation Main index and the DEVs thread to no avail.

The question has been asked in the Devs thread but it got no reply.

________________________________________________________________

Anyway, I after many weeks of loving my HTC Sensation, I decided it was time to install a custom ROM, so I came to XDA because this is where I got the ROM for my HTC Magic years ago.

I found the right index read through all the ROM Dev threads and Pick Android Revolution HD 5.0.2.

rooted Suped CID's and all that flashed the ROM, all a piece of cake with this phone.

the only problem I have now is that with this new ROM my phone goes to sleep every 20seconds when idle regardless of the setting in "Settings->Display->Sleep"

And it also does it for apps which have the ability to stop the screen going into sleep mode such as Google Navigation and many games.

Anyone, else have had this problem with ARHd 5.0.x or any other ROMs could help out please.

Kieran.
[General Questions and Answers] Sepp0rl:
yeah this is a known issue. Had the same ...let's call it bug with InsertCoin 4.0.5. It was fixed for me with 4.0.6. So i would suppose u should wait for an update which will come in the near future.

Thank you for you're reply.

[Nook Touch General] sugarwaterdown:
I love the Fetch News option in Calibre to download RSS feeds into beautiful epubs but find it annoying that the Nook STR requires a USB connection to download news.

At first I decided to download the Calibre Library app, but was annoyed by having to be on the same network with my computer running.

Then I get around this by setting my Calibre library in my Dropbox folder, and using the Downloader for Dropbox app to download the entire folder daily. This works pretty well, but I still had to set my computer to wake up daily and was unable to figure out how to setup a script to have just the epubs "save to disk" in a single directory as opposed to the Calibre format... but I think I have found the best solution :D

If you want to use the B&N stock reader to open epubs sideloaded wirelessly:

1. Download and install ASTRO File Manager

2. Open Astro and go to preferences. Choose "Edit File Extensions" under Data. Choose "New Extension".

Extension Name: epub (no . in there, just epub)

Mime Type: application

SubType: epub (again, no . in there, just epub)

Save

Exit Astro

To automatically download news without having a computer running Calibre you will need to use Readbeam:

Readbeam hosts a Calibre server, and supports many devices (including the Nook STR). It has many stock recipes that are ready to use, and you can even use custom news recipes.

1. Go to readbeam.com and create an account.

2. There is an option for device email address - You may want to create a new gmail address just for your device.. more on this later.

3. Add recipes that you want to read and import your custom recipes if desired. Custom recipes can be found in: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\calibre\custom_recipes

NOTE that custom recipes will need to be approved by an admin (this may take a few hours)

Now you have set Readbeam to automatically create an email an epub of each news source daily! You are almost done...

Now you will need to download an app called Attachments Auto Download

NOTE this app is currently $0.99

This app will automatically download any attachment sent to a gmail address. Since this app downloads every attachment, that's why it's easy to make a new gmail for this purpose.

1. Open the Attachments app and add the account information to where your news will be sent.

2. You may also want to change the Check Interval to 2 minutes. I would also check the box Flat Folder (this will save time when opening files).

3. Click the back arrow in the upper left to exit

Now just connect to WiFi and wait as your news is emailed to you and automatically downloaded! :D

To read the epubs with the stock B&N reader, just open ASTRO and navigate to "/sdcard/Downloaded Attachments"

You can also set this folder as ASTRO's home directory (by long clicking on it) for easy access!
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
I am using http://sendtodropbox.com. You receive a new mail and all attachments are saved to you dropbox folder.
[Nook Touch General] tebra:
For me the best solution is to use

ReadBeam to fetch news

send news from ReadBeam by mail to sendtodropbox

use Dropsync from Market to sync the "attachement" directory created by sendtodropbox on my Dropbox acount with "My Files/Magazines/" on my Nook
[Nook Touch General] Agrajag27:
I assume this approach requires you to root the NST? I'm still concerned about the potential for battery drain so I'm trying to avoid this initially.

BTW, for us noobs, is there a quick way to see what this would look like on the Nook? I assume have Readbeam build the file and then just wire it over for a test?
[Nook Touch General] tebra:
Yes you have to root your NST to install dropsync

[HTC EVO 3D] fifasarajevo:
Ok so i just ordered my new HTC EVO 3D off ebay since my EVO is officially done, so my question is, after looking through the DEV section ive seen a lot of information on TWRP recovery and im wondering are there other options like with the EVO.

For instance the EVO had TWRP, Amon RA, CWM, ect..

The reason i ask is because ive had a pretty bad experience with TWRP so im reluctant to use it with this phone when i get it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I used clockwork before I got twrp 2.0
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
I use twrp. havent updated to 2.0 yet...prolly wont.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I made a handful of code commits to TWRP at the beginning of the project.. The project was started as Amon RA announce he was "retiring" essentially from updating his recovery to work with EMMC devices.

The EVO 4G was an MTD device so Amon's recovery worked well. The EVO 3D is an EMMC device so Amon's recovery would not work.

Personally, I've had good success with CWM as it is consistent across devices and I haven't had issues with it across the handful of Android devices I've had.

Ultimately, the decision is up to you. I only use the basic features in the recovery, adb shell access from recovery mode, nandroid backup/restore and ability to process a .zip. These three basic features I use are essentially the same or at minimum very similar across the different recoveries.

Different custom recovery's will offer different features, different support and different UI/themes.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] aruga:
I use clock work mod. Alot of others use Twrp but I rooted my phone with the old revolution method and I have never had any problems with cwm.
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
I can't get clockwork to stick for some reason. Haven't figured it out yet but twrp is awesome.

I haven't compressed the backups but it's a nice feature that saves space. And I read that 2.0 is crazy fast at backing up and restoring. Took me 1592 seconds to restore the recovery partition tonight. Long ass time.
[HTC EVO 3D] fifasarajevo:
ok thanks guy, when my phone gets here im going to probably go with TWRP as skeptical as i am about it....there is stock version that isnt touchscreen right that has proven not to do anything bad to the phone ?
[HTC EVO 3D] MikeCriggs:
If you want CWM to stick for good, install it from Rom Manager. I have never personally used TWRP and hear it's amazing but I doubt I'll ever switch after using CWM for years and have no reason to. /endrant

[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
I tried twrp 2.0 didn't like it, it would quit in the middle of a wiping process and I would have to reboot into recovery again but it does have a touchscreen interface so some might find that useful. I used CWM like somebody else in this thread said it wouldn't stick I had the same problem. My favorite is twrp 1.1.1 never had any problems at all and the best part is you can flash multiple zips all at once. Oh! one more thing. I found out when using CWM wiping davlik cache would sometimes not work.

Twrp is my vote non touch version
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkjunior:
So, I use the "EMAIL" app to handle both my work exchange and gmail account. I like that it's combined. Can I delete the GMAIL app on the phone but still have it sync the gmail information (contacts, calendar) via the accounts menu? I'm trying to avoid having the gmail sync in two separate places.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Settings/accounts/gmail, uncheck gmail. Not sure if you have tried that already or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkjunior:
I thought about that but I was worried it not syncing the "EMAIL" box. I suppose it shouldn't affect it, as there are separate gmail sync settings in that menu. I'll try that.
